Un sumar al vietii

Adevaruri pe care le-au invatat copiii:

1. Oricat de mult ai incerca, nu poti invata o pisica sa inoate.
2. Cand mama e suparata pe tata, nu-i chair cel mai bun moment sa o pui sa-ti impleteasca parul.
3. Daca sora ta te loveste, nu o lovi inapoi. Intotdeauna a doua persoana este prinsa.
4. Nu-i cere niciodata fratelui tau de 3 ani sa tina o rosie.
5. Nu poti sa ascunzi morcovii in cana cu lapte.
6. Nu purta chiloti cu animalute si pantaloni prin care se vad.
7. Cel mai bun loc unde sa stai cand esti suparat este in bratele bunicului.


Adevaruri pe care le-au invatat adultii:

1. Sa cresti adolescenti este ca si cum ai avea o migrena prelungita.
2. Ridurile nu dor.
3. Familiile sunt ca nucile: cele mai multe sunt bune, dar unele sunt de-a dreptul amare.
4. Rasul este cel mai bun exercitiu. E ca si cum te-ai intinde pe dinauntru.
5. Varsta de mijlos este atunci cand alege cerealele pentru fibre si nu pentru jucaria atasata.


Adevaruri pe care le-au invatat cei in varsta:

1. Sa imbatranesti este obligatoriu, sa te maturizezi este optional.
2. Uita de hrana sanatoasa. Ai nevoie de cati mai multi conservanti.
3. Daca ai cazut, te intrebi ce altceva mai ai de facut daca tot esti acolo.
4. Ai imbatranit cand ai aceleasi senzatii in balansoar ca atunci cand te dadeai in roata cand erai copil.
5. E frustrant sa stii toate raspunsurile si nu e nimeni care sa te intrebe.
6. Timpul poate fi un medic bun, dar un prost plastician.
7. Intelepciunea vine cu varsta, dar uneori varsta vine fara intelepciune.



Cele patru stagii ale vietii:

1. Crezi in mos Craciun.
2. Nu crezi in Mos Craciun.
3. Tu esti Mos Craciun.
4. Arati ca Mos Craciun.


Succesul este:

La 4 ani - sa nu faci in pantaloni.
La 12 ani - sa ai prieteni.
La 18 ani - sa ai carnet de conducere.
La 35 de ani - sa ai bani.
La 50 de ani - sa ai bani.
La 70 de ani - sa mai poti conduce.
La 75 de ani - sa mai ai prieteni.
La 80 de ani - sa nu faci in pantaloni.

Sa-ti aduci aminte in fiecare zi doar lucrurile bune, nu si necazurile. Sa-ti acorzi timp pentru micile bucurii, pentru ca viata e scurta. Danseaza gol, canta la dus si citeste pe buda!

Cum sa devii bogat

Acesta nu este un studiu real, dar ar putea foarte bine sa fie atribuit cercetatorilor britanici.

Pentru a deveni bogat, conform perceptiei generale, nu trebuie sa muncesti pe branci, nu trebuie sa ai idei geniale si sa le pui in practica sau sa ai noroc cu carul. Contrar acestor lucruri foarte cunoscute, singurul lucru pe care trebuie sa faci este sa imbatranesti. Asa vei avea:

- argint in par

- aur in gura

- pietre in rinichi

- zahar in sange

- plumb in picioare

- fier in artere

- si o rezerva nelimitata de gaz natural

Cine s-ar fi gandit ca adunam atatea bogatii!

Celele catle Mos Claciun

Mos Clǎciune, Mos Clǎciune,
Anul ǎsta tot, pe bune,
Cǎ am fost bǎiat cuminte,
Am la tine-o lugǎminte:

Noaptea aia de-ai sǎ vii,
Nu-mi aduce giucǎlii,
N-am nevoie de patine
Sau vle-un tlenuleţ pe sine,

Nu vleau puscǎ, niţi pistol,
Oli vle-un ulsuleţ nasol,
Sǎ n-aud de tlotinetǎ,
Niţi volbǎ de tliţicletǎ,

Sau vleo balcǎ cu motol,
Vleau si io un flǎţiol,
Cǎ fiind singul meleu
Habal n-ai cât mi-e de gleu,

N-am cu ţine mǎ giuca,
Povesti sau discuta
Chestiuni ca întle flaţi,
Sau gagici, ca-ntle bǎlbaţi,

Cǎ volbind io cu mǎmica
Si tǎticu’ si bunica,
Am concluzionat, sǎ stii,
Cǎ doal tu mǎ poţi selvi:

Stii tu balza aia chioalǎ
Lǎtǎţitǎ-odinioalǎ
La adlesa de mai sus
Când pe mine m-a adus?!

Fǎlǎ bǎscǎlie-ţi spun,
Îţi plomit c-am sǎ fiu bun
Înc-un an, poate chial doi,
La’ cǎ ne-nţelegem noi!

Ia-o tu, mai pe depalte
Si esplicǎ-i, cǎ ea poate,
Vino cu o stangǎ nouǎ,
Dǎ-i cadou o panǎ, douǎ

Sǎ mai fac-un gest, de milǎ,
Nu c-as poseda vleo pilǎ,
Doal asa, un mic ocol,
Sǎ-mi aduc-un flǎţiol,

Cât mai lepede, ulgent,
Stiu cât esti de competent,
Ialǎ de va faţe gât
Cǎ timp n-ale pentlu-atât,

Tleţem deţi, la planul doi,
Da’ lǎmâne intle noi:
Dǎluiestele-o vacanţǎ,
Asta-n ultima instanţǎ,

Cǎ la fel, si-ai mei pǎlinţi,
Sunt de-o vleme-asa cuminţi,
Timp nu au, de-i noapte, zi,
Sǎ mai facǎ nebunii!

Jokes of the day

Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and she said, ''Mabel, do you know you've got a suppository in your left ear?'

Mabel answered, 'I have a suppository in my ear?'
She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, 'Ethel, I'm glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where to find my hearing aid.'
***


When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea. No sooner were the papers delivered when a friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly, 'You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea.'

Replied the widow, 'I nursed him night and day so of course I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big shit he always was.'
***


An elderly couple were on a cruise and it was really rough seas.They were standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the old woman overboard.

They searched for days and couldn't find her, so the captain sent the old man back to shore with the promise that he would notify him as soon as they found something.

Three weeks went by and finally the old man got a fax from the boat. It read: 'Sir, sorry to inform you, we found your wife dead at the bottom of the ocean. We hauled her up to the deck and attached to her butt was an oyster and in it was a pearl worth $50,000 . .. Please advise.'

The old man faxed back: 'Send me the pearl and re-bait the trap.'
***


A funeral service is being held for a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the service, the pall bearers are carrying the casket out when they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket.

They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive! She lives for ten more years, and then dies. Once again, a ceremony is held, and at the end of it, the pall bearers are again carrying out the casket.

As they carry the casket towards the door, the husband cries out, 'Watch that wall!'
***


When I went to lunch today, I noticed an old lady sitting on a park bench sobbing her eyes out. I stopped and asked her what was wrong.

She said, 'I have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee.'

I said, 'Well, then why are you crying?'

She said, 'He makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favorite brownies and then makes love to me for half the afternoon.'
I said, 'Well, why are you crying?'

She said, 'For dinner he makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favorite dessert and then makes love to me until 2:00 a.m. '

I said, 'Well, why in the world would you be crying?'

She said, 'I can't remember where I live!'
***


Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.

One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, 'Now don't get mad at me. I know we've been friends for a long time.....but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is.'

Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, 'How soon do you need to know?'

The Senility Prayer
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Let's smile!

Senior Moments

LOST IN THE DARNDEST PLACES:

An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into.
She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher:
"They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried.

The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way."

A few minutes later, the officer radios in. "Disregard." He says. "She got in the back-seat by mistake."


FAMILY

Three sisters, ages 92, 94 and 96, live in a house together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?"

The 94-year-old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses "Was I going up the stairs or down?"

The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood." She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."


"I CAN HEAR JUST FINE!"

Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other, "Windy, isn't it?"

"No," the second man replied, "it's Thursday."

And the third man chimed in, "So am I. Let's have a beer."


LITTLE LADY:

A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home.

As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say "Supersex."

She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown at him, she said, "Supersex."

He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the soup."


OLD FRIENDS:

Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.

One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me .. I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is."

Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her.

Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"


SENIOR DRIVING

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!"

"Heck," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"


DRIVING

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection.

The stoplight was red, but they just went on through.

The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light."

After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through.

The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous.

At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!"
Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, crap, am I driving ?"

Why we love Children

1. A nursery school pupil told his teacher he'd found a cat, but it was dead.
'How do you know that the cat was dead?' she asked her pupil.
'Because I pissed in its ear and it didn't move,' answered the child innocently.
'You did WHAT?' the teacher exclaimed in surprise.
'You know,' explained the boy, 'I leaned over and went 'Pssst' and it didn't move'


2. A small boy is sent to bed by his father.
Five minutes later.....'Da-ad.....'
'What?'
'I'm thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?'
'No, You had your chance. Lights out..'
Five minutes later:
'Da-aaaad.....'
'WHAT?'
'I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??'
' I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll have to smack you!!'
Five minutes later......'Daaaa-aaaad.....'
'WHAT!'
'When you come in to smack me, can you bring a drink of water?'


3. An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him 'How do you expect to get into Heaven?'
The boy thought it over and said, 'Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!''


4. One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, 'Mummy, will you sleep with me tonight?'
The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.
'I can't dear,' she said. 'I have to sleep in Daddy's room.'
A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:
'The big sissy.'


5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children's sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the minister leaned over and said, 'That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?'
The little girl replied, directly into the minister's clip-on microphone, 'Yes, and my Mum says it's a bitch to iron.'


6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower.
She said, 'Mummy, you are getting fat!'
I replied, 'Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy.'
'I know,' she replied, but what's growing in your bum?'


7. A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, 'Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine....'
His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, 'What are you doing?'
The little boy answered, 'I'm doing my math homework, Mum.'
'And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?' the mother asked.
'Yes,' he answered.
Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, 'What are you teaching my son in math?'
The teacher replied, 'Right now, we are learning addition.'
The mother asked, 'And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?'
After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, 'What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.'


8. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, '.... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!'
The teacher paused then asked the class, 'And what do you think that farmer said?'
One little girl raised her hand and said, 'I think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!''
The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.


9. A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter.'
Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, 'I'm Jane Sugarbrown.'
The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, 'Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?'
She replied, 'I thought I was, but mother says I'm not.'


10. A little girl asked her mother, 'Can I go outside and play with the boys?'
Her mother replied, 'No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough.'
The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked,'If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?'


11. A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake. The barber says to her:
'Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your muffin.'
She says, 'Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too.'

Joke of the day - Second opinion

Do You Need a Second Opinion

The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad new is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife.

When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.

As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need ... a new suit. That'll make me feel a little better."

He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see ... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said. Joe tried on the suit ... it fit perfectly.

As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck." Joe was surprised. "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years."

Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a moment and said, "Sure."

The salesman said, "Let's see ... size 36." Joe laughed, "Ah ha! I got you, I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

New suit -- $400
New shirt -- $36
New underwear -- $6
Second Opinion -- PRICELESS

For every men in my life!

10 jokes to make your day!

1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year- old shout from the back seat, 'Mom!That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'

2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'

3) KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the bottle. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle.'

4) MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?

5) POLICE #1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop?' 'Yes, 'I answered and continued writing the report. 'My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,'
I told her 'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, `would you please tie my shoe?'

6) POLICE #2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked 'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'

7) ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers an wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'

8) DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.' 'And why not, darling?' 'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning. '

9) SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!'

10) BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. 'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out. 'What have you got there, dear?' With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear.'

Get out of the car!

(This is a supposedly a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida)

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs: "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They gone out and ran like mad.
The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags in the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.

She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat.

A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake.

The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.

No charges were filed.

Moral of the story? If you're going to have a senior moment...make it memorable.

Turismul din Romania

Post preluat de pe pagina personala de yahoo360, 30 mai:

Turismul din Romania nu are standarde inalte de calitate. E un adevar dureros, dar e un adevar. Chelnerii din baruri si restaurante trateaza de multe ori lumea cu indiferenta si sunt foarte slab pregatiti. Tocmai din aceasta cauza, atunci cand cineva gaseste un loc in care este tratat in mod normal, cu respectul cuvenit pentru client, se grabeste sa trambiteze. Asa cum am facut eu cu serviciile de la Hanul Ancutei, de exemplu. Si, cu toate ca nu a primit bacsis( nu din vina mea, ca nu eu am platit), chelnerita a continuat sa fie amabila.

Nu exista cursuri in care oamenii sa fie invatati ca mancarea buna nu e completa fara a-l trata pe client frumos. Cand pretul este afisat pe suta de grame iar tu primesti portie trebuie sa ti se mentioneze asta. Cand esti aproape de ora de inchidere si nu mai poti servi lumea precizezi lucrul asta inainte de a da oamenii comanda, ca sa nu se mai agite si sa caute sa manance in alta parte. Cand jumatate din felurile de mancare din meniu nu sunt disponibile pentru ca bucatarul tau lucreaza cu jumatate de norma si tu incalzesti mancarea e bine sa precizezi ca unele feluri de mancare nu sunt disponibile, ca sa nu-ti mai racesti gura de pomana comandand. Nu de alta, dar macar cu atata sa ramai despre impresia de la acel restaurant ( s-a intamplat la Casa Lavric, unde nici clatite nu faceau la ora 16, cu toate ca programul era pana la 20-21). Cand nu stii sa faci un fel de desert nu-l mai face: exemplu banana split de la Alila, unde 1 banana si jumatate au fost taiate pe lung, s-a adaugat deasupra frisca din tub cat sa le acopere artistic, s-au turnat bombonele de ornament deasupra si s-a daugat cupa de inghetata langa. Pur si simplu banana taiata, ca doar asta e numele, nu? Ce sos de caramel, ce banane coapte usor la cuptor, ce treaba au retetele??

Recent am prins la nu stiu care post de televiziune un sondaj despre comparatie intre turismul din Romania si Bulgaria. Ei bine, promovarea e totul. Si serviciile. Nu stiu cat de frumoasa e Bulgaria in comparatie cu Romania, dar macar aia se straduiesc sa ne atraga in calitate de clienti. Au pana si meniuri in limba romana. Iar ca un capac peste tot interesul lor, dovedind ca nu degeaba ne vindeau ei castraveti, e faptul ca se bat sa invete limba romana la liceu, in mod organizat. Stirea se regaseste in Evenimentul Zilei, unde se precizeaza de catre administratia liceului din Ruse ca din sute de doritori (repet, sute), doar 27 de elevi vor studia limba romana.

Cati dintre chelnerii romani stiu si o alta limba straina? Nu-i asa ca e o intrebare de baraj?

Cele mai bune terase sunt pe timp de vara cele racoroase, inconjurate de verdeata, pe cat posibil in zone cat mai libere ale orasului. Cel putin acestea sunt terasele la care prefer sa merg atunci cand se intampla fenomenul.

Potrivit celor de mai sus, cea mai potrivita definitie prin regula jocului "amesteca si potriveste" este: loc racoros, cu verdeata, unde nu este intristare, nici suspin.

Casa Alba

Luna iunie a fost una destul de agitata si nu numai pentru mine personal. Semne mai mari sau mai mici de schimbare au aparut inca de pe la inceputul lunii, cand, numai ca sa scape de gura mea sau macar dintr-un impuls propriu, Adrian si-a adus in sfarsit pagina la zi, printr-un nou design care e net superior celui anterior: http://tridentdesign.com/

Dupa chestiuta asta si trei interviuri, a aparut o oferta de nerefuzat. Si la jumatatea lunii deja era vorba de noua slujba, actele duse, intoarse si rasucite. Contractul s-a semnat pe 1 iulie. Intalnirea cu viitorii colegi s-a facut la pensiunea Casa Alba de langa Frasin. Denumirea de team building a constat, pentru el mai ales, in cunoasterea echipei. Eu m-am bucurat de aerul curat, de fragi si de mancarea buna( era loc de mai bine, dar am decis sa fiu mai putin carcotasa). Lumea a apreciat clatitele cu afine precum si papanasii cu smantana si aceiasi dulceata de afine, ciorba de perisoare, supa de pui(fara carne de pui) si eu, personal, am cuvinte de lauda pentru tochitura - branza foarte buna si carne frageda de purcel - si pentru dulceata de afine, ce s-a regasit si la micul dejun.

De retinut un fapt important: atunci cand micul dejun este oferit sub forma de bufet suedez, e mai bine sa te trezesti mai devreme. In prima zi nu am stiut si am ramas la mila lor, pana s-au facut alte portii. A doua zi cei care nu s-au trezit devreme nu au mai avut salata de vinete.

De retinut partea a doua: grupurile cu straini sunt tratati mai bine, lucru observat de grupul nostru in comparatie cu cel care, cred eu, avea o stransa legatura cu Librariile Alexandria, dat fiind numarul mare de masini branduite din parcarea pensiunii.

Asa ca noul serviciu a schimbat si mai tare balanta veniturilor din familie. In bine, cred eu.
